Meanwhile, reports are still circulating, suggesting that CBF is looking at Real Madrid, Carla Ancelotti, as a possible replacement for Dorival. Flamengo chief Filipe Luis and Jorge Jesus, who is currently in charge of Al Hilal, are also considered to be potential candidates.
Selecao endured the tumultuous time in qualifying. Currently, they sit in fourth place in the table with only four games, winning six, they pulled out three and lost five.
The top six reach the World Cup finals, and seventh place enters the intercontinental playoffs for a place in the tournament next year in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Dorival, a 62-year-old former former defense midfielder, has been the main coach of the Brazil national team since January 2024.
His managerial career began in 2002, and he only ever trained in his native land, taking over more than 20 clubs, including multiple compounds with Santos and Sao Paul characters.
